New Frontrunner maintenance facility will sit near Davis–Salt Lake line, presenters say
Summary
Presenters told commissioners a new maintenance facility for Frontrunner will largely lie in Davis County near the county line with Salt Lake County, and that both the new and existing Warm Springs facilities will operate during the transition.
Presenters said the Frontrunner 2X program includes a new maintenance facility sited near the Davis–Salt Lake county line. Ryan McKenzie, county clerk, summarized the footprint for the commission, saying the slide shows "a good portion of it's in Davis County but it also extends down into some Lake County as well." Commissioners asked whether the maintenance facility would be located in Davis County; staff replied that part of the facility footprint is inside Davis County and that the existing Warm Springs facility will continue to operate as both sites will function during the transition.
Presenters noted the new facility was chosen because UTA already owns right‑of‑way in that area, and that a contractor (identified in the presentation) has been awarded the maintenance‑facility contract. County staff requested continued coordination with planning and DFCM (Division of Facilities Construction and Management) while design and permitting proceed.
